[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] mulitple disks/floppies

wadswort@babss.UUCP (John H. Wadsworth) (06/05/91)

I'd like to have a system with say 3 or 4 hard disks and maybe
one of each style floppy (720K, 1.2, 1.4, etc). Just to complicate
things further let's add a tape backup system too. 

What would you use for controllers in such a situation?
Can you have more than one hard/floppy controller in a system or would
you look for the controller that has the greatest number of ports available?
Can it be supported in unix and dos?
Which interface (scsi, ide, etc..)

Post or email to me and I'll collect and post a summary.

Thanks!
